Daniel Kawczynski is alleged to have pressured a young researcher to go on date with a wealthy businessman

Channel 4 News said the woman was approached multiple times by an intermediary, before Kawczynski approached her personally on behalf of a contact from overseas who had seen her in Parliament.
The MP for Shrewsbrury, once told a one-legged beggar to “get a job”, denies anything inappropriate took place but admits making the suggestion.

The woman refused to go out with the man but he pressed her to have a coffee with the man instead, suggesting the meeting may help with a business deal.

A source close to the woman described Mr Kawczynski's alleged behaviour as “sleazy in the extreme”, leaving her horrified.
